In my humble opinion sheep are farm animals and not pets; therefore, I never
give them names. If names are required for registration, then simple numbers
like: 13A1,13 for the year, A for the ewe, and 1 for number in the liter.

Rick,
I appreciate your thoughts on this. I however, do not have a mathematical
brain, and it is easier for me to remember a name than # 1301, 1302,
1303.
I use your numbering system for their registration tags, with the year and
birth order also. Scrapie tag in the right ear, and
The naming scheme I use is to name lambs by letter according to the lambing
batch and the sire. The first group of lambs, all sired by Sunny Slope
Vincenzo, start with A. We have Adrian, Arthur, Arnold, Amanda, Amber, etc.
The second batch, all sired by Sunny Slope Monroe, are the Bs. Barnabas,
I hear you, Cecil. Don't tell Timmy he is not a pet. He is the first one to
meet me at the gate, faster than even the LGDs!

I mostly fall into Rick's ideology here. The lambs name starts with the
year, then their numerical sequence of their birth, followed by an
abbreviated description and codon 171 status. So an example of this name
format is 13018 BBB kr twin +. This means this lamb was born in 2013, was
the 18th
